The Cannery Lodge

The Cannery Lodge

PRL Logistics renovated facilities at the 100-year-old historic cannery site at the mouth of the Kenai River. Today, the Cannery Lodge site houses PRL’s Kenai commercial logistics operations, as well as offers lodging, dining, conference and other business facilities. Renovations added state-of-the-art technology, but retained the historic materials, design and style of the site.

The Cannery Lodge needed a digital presence to match its jaw-dropping physical one. Artistic Puppy Creative tackled the multifaceted need for a website, logo, graphic design, video and branding in a way that highlights the company’s ethos of historic style meets contemporary function.

Services

Web Design

The web design for The Cannery Lodge had to represent the style of the facility — i.e., look amazing — include some complex features for scheduling and booking and load and navigate the graphics-rich content seamlessly.

Photography

Only HD would work for The Cannery Lodge. The images had to do the site justice, so Artistic Puppy Creative used high-definition photography to capture every ripple of wave off the riverside deck, every metallic glint off the corrugated roofing repurposed for interior decor, and every grain of wood in the 50-year-old (or older) planks.

Video

The Cannery Lodge is uniquely situated on the Kenai Peninsula, with water access via the Kenai River, highway access off Kalifornsky Beach Road and air access with an onsite helipad. The only way to capture the scope of the site was with aerial videography, and the only way to capture the scenic beauty and charming, rustic design was through high-definition technology. And we couldn’t resist some artistic video effects. After all, this place has evolved through 100 years of time. How best to represent its legacy than through time-lapse?

Graphic Design

The Cannery Lodge needed a coherent feel to its logo, typography and website that integrated with its stunning, yet highly functional physical site. Artistic Puppy Creative kept that at heart and made all facets of The Cannery Lodge’s graphic design be the visual embodiment of its mission to honor the wisdom of the past in pursuing innovation for the future.
